Quality Assessment is the process the higher education funding bodies use to gain assurance about the standard of the qualifications awarded by a higher education provider and the quality of the academic experience provided to students.

All higher education providers are required to meet national requirements for the standard of their qualifications and the quality of the academic experience provided to students.

The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a government scheme which recognises excellent learning and teaching in universities, colleges and other higher education providers. It provides information to help higher education students choose where to study.

The higher education provider meets rigorous national quality requirements for UK higher education, and is taking part in the TEF, but does not yet have sufficient data to be fully assessed. The provider may be fully assessed in future when it has sufficient data.
